In 2021, an article titled "Fall Huawei, Eat Apple" suddenly exploded on the Internet, and even attracted the comments of Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business, from Yu Chengdong's comments, it can be found that Huawei's chip acquisition was blocked, and then affected Huawei's mobile phone sales, Huawei's share in the high-end machine market was largely given to Apple.
And it is also true that in the past two years, without Huawei's sniping in the high-end machine market, the sales of Apple's mobile phones have indeed shown an upward trend. However, this does not mean that the strength of Apple's mobile phones is stronger than Huawei' strength, especially at the technical level.
And just on June 29, an incident happened to prove this, because just on June 29, the foreign media came to the news that Apple spent 1 billion US dollars, took 2 years to build 5G baseband chips finally "aborted", to know that from 2019, Apple got rid of Intel's baseband chips, began to acquire Intel's baseband business unit, and invested huge amounts of money to start investing in the independent research and development of baseband chips.
However, the fact is that Apple did not succeed in the end, in turn, look at Huawei, as early as January 2019, it successfully released its own 5G baseband chip Balong 5000, leading the world, and then took the lead in completing the release of the world's first 5G smartphone.
From this point of view, Huawei's research and development strength in the field of chip technology is stronger than Apple's, and from this point of view, Huawei can also be regarded as a pullback. Although Huawei is also limited by the supply chain and cannot achieve the release of 5G smartphones, it needs to be understood that Huawei's 5G mobile phones will officially return next year, because as early as 2021, Huawei has released the application for the completion of 5G RF chip patents, and Huawei only needs time to finally carry out commercial tape-outs in the chip industry.
In addition, two points to note are, first, Huawei is solving the 5G RF chip, not the 5G baseband chip, because the problem of the baseband chip Huawei has long been solved three years ago, and with the iteration of the past three years, I believe that Huawei's 5G baseband chip has also had a greater upgrade, but it is limited by the manufacturing supply chain and has not entered the commercial stage.
Second, unlike Apple, Apple only wants to solve the self-research of 5G baseband chips, and some other needs similar to RF chips can be solved through the supply chain, but Huawei is completing the self-development of the entire complete chip chain from baseband chips to RF chips, and the difficulty can be imagined.
However, even so, Huawei has succeeded, and not only has completed a breakthrough in baseband chips and RF chips, but also solved the regression problem of Kirin chips under extremely difficult circumstances.
From this point of view alone to analyze, it is enough to prove that Huawei's strength in the field of technology research and development is not comparable to Apple, in the face of such a comparison, foreign media also came to comment, "In the comparison of technology research and development, Huawei wins, Apple loses, although Apple's earning power is much stronger than Huawei, but the real technological development, it is indeed impossible to keep up with Huawei."
In fact, you can count some of the technologies that Apple has the most to hand to compare, no doubt two points, one of which is the powerful A series and M series chips, which is beyond reproach, Huawei's Kirin chips, even in the moment of subversion, are indeed inferior.
The second is that the iOS system that dominates the entire mobile Internet era is the fundamental reason why Android has been "unable to lift its head", but this advantage is no longer insurmountable in front of Huawei's Hongmeng system, because as early as the Hongmeng 2.0 version, the data of Lu Master's comparative test shows that Hongmeng's performance in background retention and other aspects is better than iOS, and Hongmeng has also achieved caton-free operation.
On the whole, in the face of Apple, Huawei has places to surpass, but Apple is difficult to reach in a short period of time in the face of Huawei, because the technology gap cannot be repaired in a short time.
Are you optimistic about the future development of Huawei's mobile phone business?
